Who Am I?

About The Author

Hello, I’m Patty Lang Pfennig, the author of a new  children’s book series focusing on character-building life lessons, grammar semantics and the hobby of Birding.

This journey began with my very first children’s book (TERNS TAKING TURNS), written from the heart with the hope of inspiring kids to read, explore, and connect with the world around them. Now, with the release of my second book (THE RETURN OF THE TERNS), I’m excited to bring these stories to even more children and classrooms.

My vision is simple:

  • To create stories that are fun, engaging, and educational.

  • To support teachers and schools with books that fit naturally into elementary-level curriculum.

  • To build a world around my characters—the four Terns—that children can connect with through stories, imagination, and eventually, even stuffed animals that bring the characters to life.

I may just be getting started as an author, but I believe stories have the power to shape young minds, spark new interests, and create memories that last a lifetime.

 

My Books

TERNS TAKING TURNS

Terns Taking Turns is a wonderful story of four feathered friends learning the simple but all-important “golden rule” of how to treat others as they want to be treated: taking turns! Readers will be introduced to a rarely seen species of shorebird-the Tern. Note the focus on HOMOPHONES, as well as the hobby of Birding.

THE RETURN OF THE TERNS
Nana-Nana Boo-Boo!!

The continuing story of the Terns teaches a lesson on bullying; forgiveness; kindness; and friendship (and Birding!) Also, our grammar lesson focuses on ANTONYMS and SYNONYMS.

Our stories are best suited for elementary school readers target age range 4–11, but younger children also enjoy them as read-aloud books with parents or teachers.
